Black Tahitian Pearl
The main portion of this pendant is made up of a single black Tahitian pearl with a rich, dark sheen. These types of pearls come from the black lip oyster, which is generally larger than other oysters, and so can produce larger pearls. These kinds of oysters are typically only found in the waters around Tahiti.
Tahitian pearls are available in a range of colors, although the black is typically what comes to mind when referencing this type of pearl. Each pearl is unique, of course, and so you may decide to select the pearl to build your piece around rather than the reverse. The pearl in this piece has very slight undertones of green, yellow, and pink, adding to its sense of allure and mystery.
Pendant Design and Diamond Accents
The pendant connects to the chain through a loop on the top, and the main metal portion of the piece extends directly from there. It consists of a strand of metal that curves down to meet the top of the pearl, angling backward and around to coil on top before sending its tail piece down and across the front of the pearl at an angle.
This wrapped design for the setting provides a wonderful and dynamic movement for the piece, and the front-facing parts of the setting are lined with bright cut set diamonds. These add a great sparkle and glamorous flair to the piece, while also providing a nice contrast to the rich, dark color of the pearl.
